[Verse]
G
Everybody needs a little place they can hide
    D
Somewhere to call their own, don't let nobody inside
C                         G
Every now and then we all need to let go
    D
For some it's the doctor, for me it's rock and roll
    G                       B7
For some it's a bottle, for some it's a pill
     C                                G
Some people wave the bible cause it's giving them a thrill
C                                 G
Others point their finger if they don't like what they see
       A                               D
If you live in a glass house, don't be throwing rocks at me


[Chorus]
       C             G
We all need a little shelter
              A                D
Just a little helper to get us by
       C             G
We all need a little shelter
              A      D                   G
Just a little helper ooh, and it'll be alright


[Verse]
G
Check out Mr. Politician in his suit and tie
    D
But when the doors are closed there ain't nothin' he won't try
C                        G                           D
Meanwhile Mr. Medicine's treating his best friend's wife
G                              B7
Tipper led the war against the record industry
    C                             G
She said she saw the devil on her MTV
   C                         G
To look into the cabinet, it takes more than a key
A                           D
Just like Jimmy's skeletons and his ministry


[Chorus]
       C             G
We all need a little shelter
              A                D
Just a little helper to get us by
       C             G
We all need a little shelter
              A      D                   G
Just a little helper ooh, and it'll be alright

D
Hit it now

[Verse]
    G                         D
For some it's the needle, for some it's the kill
     C                                G
Some people wave the bible cause it's giving them a thrill
C                          G
You can spend your money before you get your pay
       A                         D N.C.
With a toss of the dice, you can piss it all away


[Chorus]
       C             G
We all need a little shelter
              A                D
Just a little helper to get us by
       C             G
We all need a little shelter
              A      D                   G
Just a little helper ooh, and it'll be alright

D

Ooh, and it'll be alright (I know it's gonna be alright)

       G
We all need (Come on now)
         D
A little shelter (Come on now, shelter me now)
              C
Just a little helper (Just a little helper)
D                 G
Ooh, and it'll be alright (Shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter)
